Jürgen, Could you please, please, please give us more context. This could be regional, urban, rural or whatever. I really don't understand why we are having to constantly repeat this request when it is so obvious that context is essential for an accurate translation.

of course, ir depends on context, as Margaret Cauldfield says, and according to this book, it maybe or maybe not, a criminal offence, talking about England & Wales:

"the carrying out of development without planning permission constitutes a breach of planning control, but it is not a criminal offence".

this is WHY I have not included the term: "criminal offence"...

criminal offense against regional/urban planning

The previous reply is incomplete, because a "violation" need not be a criminal offense. But "delito" means a criminal offense, not just any run-of-the-mill breach of the law.
Peer comment(s):

agree Toni Castano : True, besides you add "regional", which rounds it all off as "spacial planning" comprises more than "urban" aspects.
